Subject: lost pushbutton activate callback

I have several pushbuttons in a rowcolumn widget which seem to have lost their
activate callbacks.  (collecting the buttons into a rowcolumn widget is
a recent change --- the callbacks were working previously.)

in reading the documentation for rowcolumn widgets i found this resource
called XmNentryCallback.  apparently this is used to override the activate
callbacks for all the items in a rowcolumn widget if the application supplies
this resouce.  if the application doesn't supply this resource, then the
"activation callbacks for each item in the rowcolumn widget work as normal."
the default value is NULL.

i don't set this resouce (not intentionally anyway!), so one would think that
my button activate callbacks should work properly.  but it looks like they
are being overridden somewhere.  (i don't want to override them -- i like
them just the way they are -- or used to be.)

suggestions to get rid of this problem (other than doing away with the
rowcolumn widget)?

thanks
